NCT03503578

Brief Summary

The investigators are performing this research study to find out how and where the anesthetic drugs sevoflurane and ketamine act in the brain. Sevoflurane and ketamine are anesthetics (a drug or agent used to decrease or eliminate the feeling of pain by causing unconsciousness). The investigators will study the brain using a machine that records the brain's electrical activity, called an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Frequencies At Which Changes in Alpha, Theta, and Slow-Delta Wave Power Were Observed From Baseline During Sevoflurane-induced General Anesthesia

    Changes in power from baseline at various EEG spectral frequencies were assessed at sevoflurane-induced loss of responsiveness. EEGs of 12 patients were analyzed to determine changes in various EEG spectral frequencies (alpha, theta, delta, etc.) from baseline. The outcome measure reflects the associated frequency (Hz) at which changes were found under sevoflurane-induced general anesthesia. These frequency values are a representation of the findings for all 12 participants.

    Approximately 60 minutes
